I’m really not sure what to write about this evening. My feet really hurt, being a teacher, I’m on them all day. I only sit down at lunch, when I’m planning with my team, or pulling a small group. I could really use a good foot massage. The good thing is tomorrow is Friday. I’m going to go to Harrisburg for sparring and possibly black belt class too !?!?

I've been in martial arts since 2002. I started in tong soo do under Head master M.K. Lee in Pineville, N.C. After I broke my left hand during a colored belt exam, I switched to Taekwondo under Head master William Grady down in Pineville, N.C. I trained at Eagle Taekwondo for 8 years, earning my 3rd Dan. When Covid the dojang did not survive. I have now been training at King Tiger , North Charlotte location, under Grand Master Evins since June of 2023. I am excited to start my Masters journey, but very nervous at the same time. I look forward to meeting the other candidates.
